1
Initial scan
Once installed, xGhost fetches your follower list. That's the baseline*.
Chrome extension · open source
See who unfollowed you on X.
Free Chrome extension, no sign-up, no tracking.
How it works
xGhost syncs your followers automatically.
2
Regular checks
Every 6, 12 or 24 hours, as you choose, it checks who joined and who left.
3
An alert for every unfollow
As soon as someone leaves, the icon lets you know.
xGhost can't see the past: it counts unfollows and new followers from the moment it's installed. Unfollows that happened before will never show up.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why does an x.com tab open by itself?
X only shows your follower list on its own page. So xGhost opens a pinned tab, scrolls through the list, then closes it. Don't close it during the scan.
Is my X account at risk?
xGhost just scrolls through your follower list, like you would yourself, and respects the pauses X imposes. The risk is low, but no unofficial extension can guarantee it's zero.
Does xGhost see unfollows from before it was installed?
No. X keeps no history of who followed you and then left. xGhost starts from your follower list at the initial scan: stats only begin from there, there's no going back in time.
Why doesn't the scan reach 100%?
X counts accounts it doesn't show (suspended, restricted) in your total. From 99%, the scan counts as complete.
Why "followed since Oct 12 or earlier"?
X never says how long someone has been following you. xGhost only knows what it has seen: the date of your first scan, or the date a new follower arrived.
Does it work with several accounts?
Yes. Log in to another account on x.com, xGhost detects it and tracks it separately.
Does it work with large accounts?
xGhost supports accounts with up to 15,000 followers. Beyond that, syncing would take too long and could hit X's limits, so it isn't started. An account already being tracked can grow up to 20,000 followers; past that, checks stop and your history stays available.
What about Firefox or mobile?
No, only Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, on desktop.
